In software development, "GYP" (Generate Your Projects) is a build automation tool. GYP was originally created by Google to generate native IDE project files (such as Visual Studio and Xcode) for building the Chromium (web browser) and is licensed as open source software using the BSD software license.

Open source software projects being built using GYP include the V8 Javascript engine, the Google's web browser (Chrome), Node.js , Starcounter and WebRTC.

The functionality of GYP is similar to the CMake build tool.
